Worksheet on Application of Factor Theorem

Practice the questions given in the worksheet on application of Factor Theorem.

1. Find the roots of the equation 6z\(^{2}\) + 11z -10 = 0. Hence, factorize 6z\(^{2}\) + 11z -10.

2. Find the roots of the equation 2m\(^{2}\) - 3m - 6 = 0. Hence, factorize 2m\(^{2}\) - 3m - 6 = 0

3. Find the roots of the equation p(p + 1) - 4 = 0. Hence, factorize 4 - p - p\(^{2}\).

4. Find the quadratic equation whose roots are

(i) -3, 7

(ii) 2 + √3, 2 - √3

(iii) \(\frac{1}{√3}\), - \(\frac{1}{√3}\)

5. Find the cubic equation whose roots are

(i) 1, 2, 3

(ii) -4, √3, -√3

(iii) \(\frac{1}{2}\), \(\frac{√5}{2}\), \(\frac{-√5}{2}\)
